Congratulations on expecting!  My name is Lindsey Rupp--founder of Blissful Transition Doula Services, co-founder of the Bloomington Postpartum Doula Collective, and creator of this website.


I believe that...

• birth is normal, healthy, and a natural part of life.
• birth is a passage to parenthood - a transforming time for both moms and their partners.
• women can birth the babies that their bodies grow.

Historically, the ancient Greek term, "doula," meant "woman who serves."  Now, however, a doula is known as a trained individual who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to women and their partners before, during, and after labor and childbirth.
